Saw III Movie Review.

[padi56]

I enjoyed the first "Saw" film greatly, and also thought "Saw II", while a little below-expectations, was still a very good horror film. But man, this one was really great, better than the previous sequel if you ask me. The plot is cleverly woven together to leave the viewer wondering throughout the whole movie, but it keeps your attention the whole way, and manages to be enthralling and consistently interesting. The character development was excellent in this film, something that I think the previous sequel lacked. The characters were sympathetic, and a lot of time was spent on their own psychological torment that tied in with the horrible torture that was occurring in front of their eyes. Just for that, I think this film easily surpassed "Saw II". The directing was well done, and is very similar to how the previous movies were shot - lots of dark and light colours, and damp, rusty atmospheres. The violence this time around is just about as nasty as you're gonna get in an R-rated movie, those who have a weak stomach are advised to avoid this film at all costs. The only thing that annoyed me about this movie was a character's decision near the end of the film - I won't give it away, but man, I saw really frustrated! Oh well, the rest of this film made up for that minor annoyance.

All in all, "Saw III" is the best sequel of this series, in my opinion at least. It was clever, unpredictable, well-acted and written, and relentlessly violent. For fans of this series and other relentless horror films, "Saw III" is definitely a must see.But I do caution you and implore you from the depths of my soul that this movie is not for the faint of heart, now I love horror movies so for me a 9/10.
